Neutral Zone". |

|
First appearance of the
famous Next Generation Poker Game. This time featuring
Pulaski, Geordi, Data, O'Brien and Riker. O'Brien claims
his luck is lousy unless he sits to the right of the
dealer. They play a five-card stud, no wilds, and Data
swiftly looses out to a Riker bluff. Pulaski deals the
next game, a seven card high low with a bye on the last
card and "the man with the axe takes all". |

Worf's
farewell present to Data is "The Dream of the Fire" by
K'Ratak. However, Pulaski causes an argument when she
claims the Klingons had nothing to do with the structure
of the book. |

The Acts of
Cumberland were passed in the early 21st Century and seem
